"Clatter." The representatives discussed.
"Yes, we can give a certain amount of time." The representatives said one after another.
Shangwen nodded in agreement.Then.leave.Shangwen needs a preliminary data.Come and do a report.
After more than an hour.Shang Wen quickly walked to the center of the venue.There was a thick folder in his hand.
"Ahem." Shangwen Runrun said in his own voice.
"Let me make a financial report for Qin State for the last two years." Shang Wen said.
All the representatives were quiet at this time.
"Because, I have just been in power for more than two years." Shang Wen said at this time.
"In the first year of my administration, many things happened in Qin State. Moreover, Qin State is changing all the time. Therefore, many data of Qin State are not comprehensive enough. For example, in the first year's fiscal revenue, Qin State did not fully It was registered because at that time, Qin State had not built large-scale factories and equipment, and the situation of farms had not been popularized on a large scale, and various economic work had not yet started. In short, these data were not comprehensive enough.” Shang Wen at this time Said.
"However, we can only give an approximate data to give you an intuitive understanding." Shang Wen said.
"Conjecture based on official Qin data." Shang Wen took out a piece of paper and said at this time.
"Qin's financial revenue in the past two years is only less than 300 million gold." Shang Wen said at this time.
"Huh." After the people in the audience heard these words.Everyone was very surprised.Because Qin State is developing so fast, it is impossible for the fiscal revenue to be so small.It is possible to do such a large construction project.
But in fact, Qin's overall income is so much.Compared with before, Qin's fiscal revenue is still more than before.Naofumi was satisfied at one point.
"Quiet." Shangwen signaled everyone to be quiet at this time.
"Qin State's fiscal revenue is about this much. However, Qin State has issued a large number of bonds. These bonds are calculated according to the five-year period. The total debt of Qin State is as high as more than 2000 million gold." At this time, Shang Wen put Qin State's debt problem was directly stated.
"So many." At this time, the representatives of Qin State said one after another.
"Yes. That's all." Shangwen said loudly at this time.
"If there were not so many bonds, Qin would not be able to support such a huge war cost. Not only that, Qin would not be able to undertake the entire country construction." Shang Wen said at this time.In fact, Shangwen also concealed another thing, that is, Shangwen borrowed a considerable amount of money by printing more banknotes.This sum of money helped Qin to overcome many difficulties.For this matter.Shangwen regarded it as a top secret and did not reveal it. If the representatives present knew about it, what would they think about their way of robbery.
"The state of Qin relies on these bonds to support the current situation. In addition, there is a sum of money from social donations. They helped the state of Qin build a considerable part of the educational facilities. The establishment of these facilities has made a great contribution to the education of the state of Qin. Huge contribution. Again, I need to point out that without these funds, our children will be greatly behind in education. For this, I am very grateful. Thank you. Thank you." Shang Wen bent at this time Bow at the waist and say thank you.
"Huh la la." All the representatives applauded at this time, which is for them.It is a great recognition. First of all, it is their great honor that Shang Wen, as the head of the civil servants of the Qin State, can take the initiative to recognize it.Secondly, Shangwen's attitude, Shangwen was able to take the initiative to admit this matter, saying that Shangwen attaches great importance to education.It can be said that Shangwen attaches great importance to the future of Qin.At this point, everyone agrees with Shangwen's attitude.
The last point is that Shangwen was able to let go of his status as a prime minister and take the initiative to thank everyone.This makes everyone feel a sense of respect.Feeling a kind of recognition, in such a kind of recognition and respect, the representatives of Qin State applauded to show encouragement.
"Thank you everyone." Shangwen said at this time.
"Thank you everyone." Shangwen said at this time.
"Fiscal revenue, let's talk about it temporarily. In terms of expenditure, the data I got shows that Qin spent the most on war, accounting for as much as 40.00%. The next thing is public infrastructure. To 30.00% seven. Education is only [-]%. Other special funds, such as disaster relief, bank loans, and tax exemptions, are less than [-]%. The rest of the expenditure is for the royal family, and there are some royal expenses.” Shangwen said at this time.
"Royal fees?" At this point, a representative asked.
"Yes, royal expenses." Shang Wen emphasized at this time.
"Part of the government's fiscal revenue has to be handed over to the royal family. This part of the expenses should be said to be relatively normal." At this time, Shang Wen used a relatively normal one to explain this situation.
"Oh." The representatives obviously understood what this meant.The whole country belongs to the King of Qin, and it is a very legitimate reason for the King of Qin to charge royal fees at this time.However, the representatives were still a little unnatural. They believed that the royal income of King Qin should come from investment from the royal family, not from the state, which should come from taxpayers.Although no one said it clearly, they still had some small knots that hadn't been solved, which showed that the people of Qin had already realized something in terms of taxation at this time.

"In terms of expenditure, the biggest problem is that the cost of war remains high. I have taken relevant measures for this problem, but everyone understands that my efforts in this area still cannot solve this problem." Shang Wen said.
"Qin is facing a new problem of national defense, occupation and security. There are many places where troops are needed. The Huns in the north, the Hu people, and the ethnic minorities in the northwest, where there are newly occupied lands, and our flanks, the Qiang people in the Hexi Corridor, Although we have occupied some plateau areas, we still have a lot of strategic security issues," Shang Wen said.
"The existence of these strategic security issues determines that Qin's military expenditure remains high," Shang Wen said.
"We lack a sufficient sense of security." Shang Wen directly pointed out the root cause of this problem.
"Around us, there are many situations that we don't understand and don't understand. Many ethnic groups, tribes, and countries don't understand us, and they don't know us. The emergence of these situations makes us feel very disturbed. Therefore, For our domestic security, we need to continue to use troops abroad." Shangwen said.
"This has directly led to our national defense expenditure directly rising to a new height. The emergence of this height has made us feel unsupportable. Therefore, we have taken some measures. These measures are to reduce military expenditures, but although we have repeatedly However, the current situation in Qin State can no longer continue to reduce it. Qin State can only maintain the current situation by stopping the war." Shang Wen said meaningfully.The current strategic security situation of Qin State is very beneficial to Qin State, but the spread of Qin State is really too big.This had to make Qin reconsider the use of their troops.
As a result, Qin State had to postpone the timetable for Qin State to unify the six countries.According to the historical process.At this time, Qin State had already annexed South Korea and Zhao State.Qin State is provoking war against Yan State.However, Shangwen's appearance delayed the occurrence of all situations. This is not the strength of Shangwen alone.but the force of history.Qin's expansion will inevitably bring new problems, but this problem came early and changed some things.
"Based on the current situation, Qin State is no longer able to concentrate its forces to solve the problem of the use of troops by either side. Qin State lacks effective mobile forces." Shang Wen said.
"Qin can only rely on the strength of its allies to complete the containment of the diplomatic and military postures of the six countries." Shang Wen made new adjustments in terms of national strategic security.This adjustment is to adopt the method of political alliance with some countries as much as possible.Political, diplomatic, military suppression, in such a way.To save money and lay a solid foundation for Qin's unification. "Shang Wen said. Shang Wen's idea is to use the relationship of alliance partners to achieve the goal of Qin's final unification, but this method will take a long time, but Qin currently needs this method. First, Qin's current financial situation It can only be done in this way. Second, there is no need for Qin to continue to expand its territory. Qin has already occupied many resource-rich places. These places include the north and northwest of Qin. These two places are rich in various resources. Resources, especially in special metals. Qin State has a stronger resource advantage than the six countries. Not only that, Qin State also relies on its own financial means. It firmly controls Zhao State’s coal. At the same time, use other In this way, Qin State controlled South Korea’s transportation rights. Qin State had priority to enjoy the right to use the Xinzheng Railway Hub, which can be seen from the point that Qin State transported troops.
Qin State relied on his various means to control the important resources of the two neighboring countries.In this regard, Shangwen's policy was successful.However, as far as Qin State used force to unify the whole country.Shangwen himself didn't know if he was doing the right thing.Shangwen first ensured a nation's safe external environment.But this environment has brought a lot of pressure and responsibility to Qin.At the same time, Qin State postponed the unification of the six countries because of this responsibility.
But it is undeniable.Shangwen's approach also has some positive meanings. Zhao Guo and South Korea are no longer so unfamiliar with Qin State. On the contrary, they began to actively understand Qin State and learn from Qin State.Although their favorability for Qin has not increased much.But their understanding of Qin State has deepened a lot.Not only these two countries, Qin also has a new understanding of several surrounding countries. They believe that Qin is politically stronger than these two countries.Moreover, Qin State paid more attention to the use of talents than these countries.Qin State attaches great importance to basic education, while one of these two countries does not attach much importance to education.Zhao Guo is.And the other one doesn't pay much attention to basic education, what they value is university education, and they urgently need talents.
but.Both countries have sent a certain number of international students.
The overseas students sent by Zhao Guo mainly focus on military affairs.South Korea, however, is quietly changing.In the past, Korean students studying abroad were mainly military officers.There are only a small number of civilian students studying abroad, and they mainly study mechanics and engineering.But now, instead of reducing the number of overseas students, South Korea has increased the number of overseas students, moreover, in terms of civilian technology.South Korea has increased the investment of personnel.Especially when it comes to emerging technologies.For example, automobiles, machinery and equipment manufacturing, machine tool processing, and various mineral resources, etc.South Korea has invested a lot of manpower.
Shang Wen's report was not finished yet, and all the representatives were listening carefully to Qin's current financial situation. They first had to have a detailed understanding of their own family background. Only at this time could they put forward some constructive opinions.They should not only consider their own interests, but also the interests of the country.
While Shang Wen was explaining the issue of military expenditure, Wang Jian was discussing some new situations with Li Mu.
Wang Jian met Li Mu at the border post between the two countries when he was inspecting the defense of the Taiyuan Military Region.Because the two countries discuss issues in the border dispute area, that is to say, talk in the blank area of the actual control area of the two sides, so the personnel of the two parties have not officially gone abroad.
"You are already very clear about the situation in Zhao Guo." Li Mu said.
"A cavalry unit from the state of Zhao has inserted into the back of the Qi army, but their troops have not gathered up, and they lack effective supplies. The supplies they carry with them are rapidly decreasing, especially in terms of weapons and ammunition. In this regard, They lack enough ammunition to maintain their current situation. And our infantry is progressing extremely slowly, so we need your help. Especially the help of air power." At this time, Li Mu directly proposed.
"En." Wang Jian just nodded.Nothing is indicated.
"The reason why our infantry is progressing slowly is that the road conditions in Yan State are bad. We need your Qin State to send engineers to help us build a road to speed up our logistics supply. At the same time, we also hope that you can provide some engineering vehicles for some transportation. "Li Mu continued.
"This, we need to think about it." Wang Jian said at this time.
"You must know that Qin's air force has supported the Qin army's ground force before, and their losses and pilot fatigue are very high. Moreover, the range of the aircraft cannot provide long-distance combat, only airships can, but the fatigue of the airship, As well as the maintenance of airships, it takes a certain period of time, and Qin is currently unable to send airships to participate in the battle." Wang Jian said at this time.
"This." Li Mu was obviously anxious,
"We are currently an allied force. The allied forces should provide some help." Li Mu said at this time.
"I understand your situation. But our situation is true, but we have a solution." Wang Jian said at this time.
"We can use the reserve force. Qin State can call in some civilian airships to join in. However, in doing so, Qin State will inevitably increase military expenditure. As you know, the prime minister of Qin State is currently vigorously reducing military expenditure. On this issue, we There are some difficulties." Wang Jian said directly.
"I think we should discuss it with the Yan people. They can pay the fee. Moreover, the Yan people are procrastinating in attacking. We also need you to urge the Yan people to take military action as soon as possible to assist us." Li Mu said.
"Well, we will do this." Wang Jian said politely.
"In addition, we should focus on reinforcements. The cavalry units have been interspersed over long distances, and their supply problems are very serious. We are eager to solve this part of the problem." Li Mu said proactively.
